Blackburn Rovers warned about 'best player outside the Premier ... (Accrington Observer)

We spoke to Yorkshire Live's Sheffield United Reporter, Nathan Hemmingham, for the inside track on the Blades.

Defensively, United have been sound under Heckingbottom, although they won't have a full complement to choose from It means when they do have a wobble they are still in a good position to come out the other side. The one thing United have in their favour over those chasing teams is the points on the board and the gap to third. The three in midfield may change in terms of roles and responsibility and the two up top is normally Ndiaye playing off McBurnie or a number nine but the principles are the same - front foot, aggressive, press high, take risks. As good a chance as United have of bursting Blackburn's bubble after Tuesday, really. You'll see a similar set-up to the one at Bramall Lane earlier in the season, three-man defence, wing-backs, three in midfield and two up top. United are still in a strong position with just two defeats in 17 in all competitions He outlines the threat United could pose, where Rovers could hurt them and the danger of Illiman Nidaye. Defensively United do have a few concerns. Anel Ahmedhodzic, who JDT knows well from Malmo and tried to sign in the summer, is suspended. Jayden Bogle and Ciaran Clark have been suffering with illness and George Baldock came back from a hamstring injury on Wednesday and played 60 minutes. That's part of the reason behind the consistency this season, he doesn't react to defeats or change much.

Blackburn Rovers impress to beat Sheffield United at Ewood Park (Lancashire Telegraph)

Rovers chalked up a fourth consecutive Championship win in fine fashion courtesy of Harry Pickering's early strike.

Rovers were troubling the Blades with their pace, and also down the flanks, and could have made the most of a break in first half stoppage time. It was frantic stuff at times, but Rovers were carrying a threat at the other end. The Blades were turning up the pressure and threatened a leveller through an unlikely source. Harry Pickering was preferred over Callum Brittain at left back and showed his quality just five minutes in to give Rovers the lead. For the first time in the second half it felt as though the momentum was with the visitors as they tried to force the issue. A first of the season for the left back was enough to see Rovers to victory in what was an outstanding display from back to front.
